In 2023, Germany's import volume of melons was at 724.5 million kilograms. Forecasts indicate steady growth, with imports rising from 743.29 million kilograms in 2024 to 820.5 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are 2.67% from 2024 to 2025, 2.55% from 2025 to 2026, 2.44% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.34% from 2027 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for:
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards organic and sustainably sourced melons could impact import dynamics.
- Trade policies and international relations affecting key exporting countries may play a significant role in supply chain stability.
